(where it attaches to the hat). In the next st (18th st),

repeat Round 13-21 from above. Do not finish off the

Round 2: (change colour here if you wish to have a con-

trasting edge) 1 sc in each st around the hat and earflaps,

FO.

Ties:(using 36-strands of Cherry Red, each strand is 60-cm

long)

make 2 bunches

To measure my strands I have a piece of precut card-

board (30-cm) and I wrap the yarn around this card-

board, cutting only the bottom edge (each full wrap to-

tals 60-cm).

I take my pile of 36-strands and loop the middle of the

pile around my finger (or a crochet hook) and hold the

loose ends with my other hand. I feed the centre (the

portion looped on my finger) through the earflap-end(chain 2 space at the end of the earflap) from the outside

of the hat, toward the inside.

I pull the loop far enough through that I can feed the

loose ends through the centre of the loop. I tighten these

strands slowly.

Then I divide the strands into 3-piles of 12 and braid the

yarn. Once I am near the end, I tie the ends of the yarn

in a lose knot around the braid and slide the knot toward

the bottom of the braid. Once it is where I want it to be I

tighten it by pulling firmly. If you have any stragglers

you can pull each strand until you find the ‘right’ one to

make it align with the rest, or undo the knot and try

again.

Assembly:

When stitching the pieces together I stitch around the

posts of the last round (it tends to hide the stitches within

the work).

Before stitching the pieces to the hat, I count stitches

from the middle of the hat to try to ensure that they are

evenly placed. You can use bits of yarn to mark place-

ment (or safety pins).

Mouth: Using a 5.00 mm hook and Cherry Red:

Please note you will be working along both sides of this

chain:

Round 1: chain 10, 1 sc in the 2nd chain from the hook and

across, rotate the work to allow you to continue working

along the bottom-side of the chain, 1 sc in each st across

and in the 1st skipped chain of the round (the st you

skipped when you began working in the 2nd chain from

the hook), FO

Using a 5.00 mm hook and Natural:

Round 2: (1 sc in each of the first 8 sts), (2 sc in each of

the next 2 sts), (1 sc in each of the next 8 sts), (2 sc in each

of the next 2 sts), FO

Ears:

Make 2.

Using a 6.50 mm hook and 2-strands of Taupe:

Row 1: 7 sc in AL, ch 1, turn [7]

Row 2: 1 sc in each st across, turn [7]

Row 3: 1 ss in each st across, FO [7]

Eyes: 2-buttons were used for the eyes

Happy Crocheting!
